Clip of gymnast's double leg break during routine goes viral

WARNING: This is completely and utterly horrifying so if you are in any way squeamish DO NOT WATCH THE CLIP.

We're serious.

Go away now.

Leave.

Live your life.

We good? Good.

Gymnast Samantha Cerio is going extremely viral today after she suffered on of the most horrific injuries we've ever seen during her routine at the NCAA Women's Gymnastic Athens Regional 2019.

She suffered two broken legs and dislocated both her knees in the fall, which has led to her immediate retirement.

The clip is going viral for a few reasons. Mainly because most of us are a bit bizarre in the sense that, when it comes to gore, we find it very hard to look away.

We, however, want to acknowledge what a boss she is.

If it was us, we think we would have literally screamed and cried and then passed out, but Star may literally be the strongest person we've ever seen.

Medical staff rushed to help Samantha following the accident. (via YouTube)

Sam has since issued a statement on social media.

She said:

"Friday night was my final night as a gymnast. After 18 years I am hanging up my grips and leaving the chalk behind. I couldn’t be prouder of the person that gymnastics has made me to become. It’s taught me hard work, humility, integrity, and dedication, just to name a few. It’s given me challenges and road blocks that I would have never imagined that has tested who I am as a person. It may not have ended the way I had planned, but nothing ever goes as planned.

Thank you Auburn family for giving me a home and a chance to continue doing the sport that will always be my first love. I am honored to have had the privilege to represent the navy and orange AU for the past 4 years with my team by my side. Thank you for letting me share my passion with you. Thank you for letting me be a part of something bigger than myself."

She also updated fans on how she's feeling. She said "I wanted to reach out and thank everyone who has sent me encouraging messages. I truly appreciate all of the support and prayers that I have received! I am doing well right now and getting lots of rest! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!"
